Emiliano Vitale portrays a raw, male sensuality. The hair inspires an individual direction
and strength, yet also showcases the underlying infl uence of classic 1950s men’s styles.Assured: This ponytail can

own place.

Model Warrior: This look has
a machismo street feel reminiscent
of the 1950s. The hair was
parted at the temple, and brushed
back with a wet gel. The remaining
hair was cornrow braided and
tied. Then, using dry shampoo,
the braid was slowly opened up
from the back to the front.

fields of Asia, this shape
has many twists and
turns, while embracing traditional warrior’s braid.
Split into four sections,

and an inverted chignon
was created on the crown,
before sweeping the sides
into the crown to finish.

finished and lightly textured ends give it a
battle-weary look.

of Mad Max and the
sensuality of the Fonz,

through the sides
and back, and a
textured top.
